I actually knew Dave Russell. Great character. Used to go into the Chaveley Road shop and get asked whether I wanted a cup of tea before I'd even said hello. One of his specialities was to hard boil an egg in the kettle at the same time. You could watch your frame take shape in front of you. Many great riders used to pop in for a chat. How he made a living is beyond me. Sadly missed.
